I going to ask a real stupid question...here goes

I come from a Novell environment (6 years) Not done very much with nt/2000 server at all...How the heck do you create login scrpits..is it true that you must create them using notepad?? or am i missing something?

Thanks

Notepad is as good as any, the login script is basically a batch file. To create a login script you type out the commands, same as you would for autoexec.bat for instance, and save it with an appropriate name and .bat extension. For Microsoft's Server 2000 pages

Just to give you some idea, here is an article on NT4 login scripts

Check out VBS scripting on the Net, there's tons of resources out there, you can call a VBS script for various clients to do more sophisticated things than simply "net use" etc...
